This week I'm doing Ciabatta and a pistachio apricot cake. I have the biga for the ciabatta mixed. It needs to sit for 12 hours. I thought tonight would be the perfect night to start bread, but tomorrow it's not a good day for baking, but I guess you just need to do it and work with it if you want to bake. I have in the back of my mind that I've made Ciabatta before, but I don't remember. It seems like it didn't turn out good. But, I've never used a biga; I usually use a more liquid starter. So, I'm excited to see how it turns out.
I don't know when I'll make the cake, but I bought the apricots so it'll be this week. I've had this recipe for over a year and I'm excited to finally make it. Apricots have just come out and they're not bad in price, so I'm excited to use them over the next month or so.
I made jam!!!!!! I just did it. I went for it and followed some rules but not others and it turned out good. Well, it set. The flavor isn't as complex as I wanted it to be. I did strawberry apricot with a shot of balsamic. Mostly it just tastes like strawberry. I definitely had the wrong ratio of fruit to make the apricots stand out, but I thought the balsamic would, but you can't really taste it. Maybe if I put it in at the end it would be better. Hmmm....
